Lead Magnet

A lead magnet is a useful resource or offer provided in exchange for a visitor taking a defined action, often sharing contact information. A home repair business might offer a downloadable maintenance checklist, but the resource should have real value on its own. A lead magnet differs from a standard call to action because the visitor receives a specific item or benefit. Explain clearly what people will get and how their information may be used. Collecting an email address does not automatically mean someone has agreed to every kind of marketing message. Good lead magnets address a genuine customer question rather than simply creating a mailing list.
